Exciting News!!!! My First Giveaway!!!!

Hello pet lovers! I have some special and exciting news for you! May 2-8th, 2010 is National Pet Week! In honor of this, I am sponsoring my very first giveaway!

The dog themed prize package includes an awesome coffee cup for the pet parent, some treats, a toy, some collar charms, and my personal favorite.....a pink doggie Snuggie, size small (perfect for doxies). You may think dog snuggies are silly, but Dex just loves his, and look how cute he looks....Now the one in the prize package is pink, so it may be better suited for a girl, or to help promote Breast Cancer Awareness, which is an awesome cause! The prize pack can also be used by the winner as a donation to your local shelter. That is the best part of winning, you get to do what ever you want with the prize. So you know you all want to enter, right? Well then let me tell you how.....

My favorite thing about being a pet parent is when on the weekends, Dexter and I get up early so he can go outside, then we go upstairs to snuggle into bed with Daddy. Nora will hop on the bed too, and we all take a family nap together. In those moments, all is right in the world.

So there you have it, that is what I love best. I told you mine, now you tell me yours.

Ok. I already follow this blog and your Tales from a Small Town. I wrote a blog linking to this blog and also wrote about what I like about being a pet parent on that blog. Here's the link. http://milshelbmom.blogspot.com/2010/04/cool-giveaway.html

My favorite thing about being a pet parent is kitty kisses! Love the giveaway idea - just hope the next one is for Kitties (we have 6!) I became a fan of your blog site, your husbands blog, your book blog and left a comment. Thanks Tiffany! wendysue_30 at yahoo . com ~Wendy

Hillarie's comment posted on my FB page, because of the networked blogs link, so I am adding her in to the mix, and wanted to include her in the comments for others to see:

Hillarie Boggs- Ruckman: ok not sure where this is going to be posted at but i think i have done just about everything on the list LOL now for me to tell you why i like being a pet owner parent....well i really love animals and really need to work in an animal hosp. That would be the coolest job ever. I have 2 dogs 2 cats and now 2 bunnies. They are all like a part of the family....they even go "Bye Byes" with us.

My favorite thing about being a pet (furbaby) parent is that they always love me whether I am upset, mad, sick and they all cuddle with me when I am sick. My two dogs, Hercules (a white lab) and Toby (a schnoodle) are very protective of me and my daughters, especially when my husband is away (he is active duty army). We also have two cats, Sarge and Charlie (Maine Coon) who just love to be right in the middle of where all the action is. If we are watching tv then they are all 4 right there with us. We also have a teddy bear hamster named Boo Boo, and he loves being out in his ball raising a ruckus with all the other furbabies. Charlie, our youngest furbaby, will instigate all the other animals if they are all resting and cozy. He will walk in and tap Toby on the behind and they start chasing each other. It is just great having them. I don't even remember what it was like not to ever have them in our lives.

I am following all the blogs you listed (which I can't wait to get back to reading the book blog. I love to read). I linked you in my status on FB. I "liked" you on FB and I just told you what I love the most about being a pet parent!! :)

Last night, I was going out for a late night excursion with some friends (we were craving Indian food) and because he had to be up early th...

About this blog

This is a blog dedicated to the tales of the tails of our puppy Dexter and our kitty Nora.

Dexter and Chloe are both dappled mini dachshunds, and Nora is a part Siamese shelter cat. They are our furry babies, and raising them really is like having kids. This is a place for me to talk about the frustrations, get advice, share cute stories, and of course brag about my babies!
